>> Tucker: Hi. >> Jack: What are you
doing here? >> Tucker: I'm here
to see Ashley. But since you're here,
I might as well fill you in on the latest change of plans,
unless you already told him? >> Diane: Me?
Oh, that-- that you claim you're no longer a threat to Jabot.
No, I-- I didn't tell him because I don't believe it
and neither will Jack. >> Tucker: Ah, perhaps I can be
more convincing this time. >> Jack: Okay, let's hear it.
>> Tucker: Hi. Uh, I've decided to focus all
my energy on this new business. A fresh start.
>> Jack: Diane's right. I don't buy it.
But let's pretend I do. I would love to see where
this ruse is headed. What does this new
life's purpose of yours have to say about your
intentions regarding Jabot? >> Tucker: That's
the million-dollar question, isn't it?
But since you're all here or I guess not quite all.
Where is Jabot's dynamic duo, Kyle and Billy?
>> Billy: Hi. >> Chelsea: Hi.
>> Billy: Sorry, I'm late. >> Chelsea: That's okay.
Oh, someone went shopping. >> Billy: Oh, yeah, yeah.
That-- that's nothing. >> Chelsea: It's a little
early for Christmas. What's the occasion?
>> Billy: I just had to make sure I had enough
wrapping paper, you know. Christmas is only a few days
away and you can't have enough. >> Chelsea: It's a little
heavy for wrapping paper. >> Billy: Yeah.
You know, there's some ribbon in there and some stickers and, uh,
some of those like name tags. And I really don't like
it when they're so small and you can't write something heartfelt,
so I got some big ones. >> Chelsea: Yeah. I hate that.
Let me see what you got. >> Billy: Excuse me.
Get your pretty little paws off of there, okay?
I have plans for my stickers. You can get your own.
Now, what shall we eat?
♪♪♪
>> Summer: Funny seeing you here.
>> Chance: Ooh, is it? I mean, you clearly followed me
here from Society, didn't you? >> Summer: Ah,
I definitely didn't. >> Chance: Well, you know,
I might be stepping down from the GCPD,
but I know when I'm being followed and you followed me.
>> Summer: Okay. If-- if that happened, it was
only the siren call of caffeine. >> Chance: Oh, ouch, Summer.
Here I thought it was me. >> Summer: Speaking of the GCPD,
how did everybody at the department take
your big news? I didn't get a chance to ask you
back at Society because you were too busy fending off
Christine's judgments. >> Chance: Yeah.
Well, um, you know, some of the guys are gonna
take me out for a beer and others are not
so thrilled with me. I kind of feel like
I let 'em down. >> Summer: Are you kidding me?
That is so unfair. You've done so much
for that department. I-- I even saw some of those
guys at the hospital when I was visiting you. You
literally almost gave your life. How could they be so selfish?
>> Chance: Whoa. Easy there, tiger. Stand down.
>> Diane: Clearly, Kyle and Billy aren't here,
but don't pretend you need them here to play games with us.
>> Ashley: Why do you care, Tucker?
Were you hoping for a bigger audience?
>> Tucker: Listen to you two. You sound almost like allies,
working side by side. >> Ashley: Well, you know what
they say? The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
>> Tucker: Is that what we are now, Ashley?
Enemies? >> Ashley: Civil adversaries,
for Dominic's sake. >> Tucker: Actually,
that's why I'm here. I would like to declare peace
with the Abbotts. I'm waving the white flag.
Laying down my sword. >> Jack: Extending the olive
branch. Say it any way you want, we're not buying.
>> Tucker: Well, you should. I no longer have
any interest in Jabot. >> Jack: And we're to just take
you at your word on this? Again?
>> Tucker: Peace is a two-way street, Jack,
and I'm willing if you are. What do you say?
>> Tucker: Come on, Jack, don't leave me hanging.
Meet me halfway. >> Jack: You can put down
your hand. >> Tucker: Imagine the--
the collective sigh of relief in Genoa City
if we both stand down. >> Jack: Well, as usual,
you have overestimated your impact on this town.
Look, let-- let's say I accept your offer of a truce.
I am sick of this war. I am sick of waiting to see what
your next move is gonna be. >> Tucker: I am sick of it too.
And I am cautiously optimistic. Revenge plotting
has been draining, but, uh, as I said,
I've got this new focus and I'm hoping that building
this new business will help me let go of this anger.
Put all that negative energy to, uh, a positive purpose.
>> Jack: Well, it's gonna take more than a handshake and empty
talk of enlightenment to make me think you're for real.
>> Tucker: In that case, I think you'll be pleased to
know why I'm here to see Ashley. I agree
to buy your half of Glacade. >> Ashley: You don't even
know my price. Are you sure you can afford it?
>> Tucker: Don't worry about it. See, Jack?
You get what you wanted. Ashley back at Jabot.
And I get what I didn't know I wanted.
A fresh start by building my own cosmetics empire.
But no going after Jabot. Ever again.
And you're not afraid of a little friendly
competition, are you? >> Jack: I'm not
the least bit afraid. >> Tucker: Fantastic.
I'll have my lawyers finalize the paperwork ASAP because
I want this done and done. >> Ashley: Great. You come up
with the cash, you got a deal. >> Tucker: And I'm hoping
this will be the last interaction any of us has
to have with one another. >> Ashley: Yeah.
>> Tucker: Except for the inevitable run-in around town.
>> Jack: Oh, I'm sure we can all handle that.
We're all adults. Well, mostly. >> Tucker: Very good. Excuse me.
>> Ashley: Excuse me. >> Tucker: Goodbye, Abbotts.
>> Ashley and Diane: Goodbye. >> Jack: Okay.
That was almost too easy. You think he suspects something?
>> Ashley: Of course, he does. >> Kyle: You seem like there's
something on your mind. >> Audra: There is. Yeah.
>> Kyle: Don't tell me you're thinking about work again.
Shall I try to distract you some more? Hm?
>> Audra: Tempting. But, I have to tell you something.
>> Kyle: Sounds ominous. >> Audra: You really need
to stop dragging your heels about getting us
information about Jabot. >> Kyle: You really can
multitask, can't you? >> Audra: Well, sex helps me
think more clearly. You know, it helps me focus.
>> Kyle: I'm not crazy that our lovemaking makes
you think about Tucker. >> Audra: Look, I'm not joking.
You need to step up. >> Kyle: Is this your warning?
>> Audra: It's Tucker's. I'm just the messenger.
And if you don't want him to believe you're playing us,
he needs something to prove your loyalty.
>> Kyle: I don't know how many times I have to say this.
I can't draw suspicion at Jabot. That wouldn't help any of us.
>> Audra: Okay, then you need to figure something else to give
Tucker, to prove your loyalty. >> Kyle: Well, how am I supposed
to do that if you won't tell me what I'm looking for?
He just has these vague, broad orders, prove your loyalty.
>> Audra: You know, Tucker will know useful
information when he sees it. >> Kyle: What does that
even mean? Useful how? For whom?
>> Audra: You're COO. There has to be some sort
of confidential information you can offer up that would show
that you're really on board. >> Kyle: It might help if you
and Tucker gave me more of an idea of what your game plan is.
Then maybe, I could get my hands on something relevant.
>> Summer: Okay. I guess I can get a little
heated sometimes, even if it's none of my business.
Runs in the family. >> Chance: Well, no,
I'm very honored that you care so much about my reputation.
>> Summer: Well, I mean, we're friends, aren't we?
So, I'm really glad that you're trusting your
gut and stepping down. You deserve to be happy in
your job, let alone safe. >> Chance: I appreciate that.
>> Summer: Well, I hope that you have a bigger celebration
planned for this new chapter other than beers
with a few of your buddies. >> Chance: Oh, I sure do.
Yeah, I'm taking Sharon to see one of my favorite bands
tonight. I'm pumped. >> Summer: Nice.
>> Chance: Yeah. I'm pretty sure she's
just humoring me though. You know, she doesn't want to
go, but I'm convinced she's gonna be their number one fan
after the show because they are excellent live.
>> Summer: Wait. What's the band?
>> Chance: Uh, Say Jump? >> Summer: You're joking
with me? You got tickets to that?
Oh, my God. I love them. Is Sharon crazy?
They're the best.
>> Chance: Wow.
I had no idea that you were the president of
Say Jump's fan club. That's cute.
Let me see your tattoo. >> Summer: Oh,
um, that's private. >> Chance: Seriously?
>> Summer: I-- I do have, um, a concert tee
from their last tour. I could show you that.
>> Chance: Okay. That's legit. Well, you got to admit
their brand is not for everyone. Kind of noisy, so we gotta
take it easy on Sharon. >> Summer: Um,
I still think anybody with good taste loves them.
No offense to Sharon. [ phone ringing ]
>> Chance: Oh, I'm sorry. Well, speak of the devil.
One second, please. Hey, you. Your ears must be burning,
I was just talking about you. Hey, hey, Sharon, say no more.
I totally get it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'll hold you up
to that. Really. Hang in there. All right.
Yeah, I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
Today must be your lucky day. I just so happen to have
one extra free ticket to see our favorite band now
and it's all yours. >> Jack: That man is
a piece of work. Claiming he wants peace,
playing the wounded victim, willing to accede to your terms.
>> Diane: As if. >> Jack: All that talk
about being tired of plotting his revenge.
Wanting a fresh start. >> Ashley: Maybe we shouldn't
assume he actually means what he says.
>> Jack: Would you answer something for me? Why is he
using Glacade to rebuild his empire?
What does he know about running a beauty company?
>> Diane: Nothing. Which is why he'll fail.
>> Ashley: I don't know about that. Business is business.
I wouldn't count him out yet. >> Diane: Then the only
way to diffuse the bomb that is Tucker McCall
is to clip his wires. >> Jack: Which means we have
to destabilize Glacade before it's up and running
under Tucker's control. We have to leak the damning
information about Tucker's role in the scandal and
the cover-up at McCall. I've got media outlets
ready to go. All we have to do is push send.
The information's out there and our smear campaign is launched.
>> Diane: But we have to be careful about the timing.
We have to wait until Ashley's signed over control or
she'll take the hit as well. >> Ashley: Thanks so much
for looking out for me. >> Diane: Of course.
I hate to admit it, but Tucker was right about one thing.
>> Jack: Oh, what's that? >> Diane: Billy should have
been here. He was supposed to join us
for this strategy meeting. You know,
when it comes to showing up for Jabot, Billy just
keeps dropping the ball. >> Chelsea: Is it for Connor?
>> Billy: Is what for Connor? >> Chelsea: Whatever's
in the bag? >> Billy: I already told you
what's in the bag. >> Chelsea: Yeah, but I know
you're lying. >> Billy: Wow. What happened to
the season of love, joy and compassion?
>> Chelsea: I hope you didn't get him that VR headset.
Because I already told him he can't have it.
>> Billy: I would never get him something so expensive
without checking with you first, for the record.
>> Chelsea: Okay. >> Billy: Okay.
>> Chelsea: I know you're up to something.
>> Billy: So suspicious. >> Chelsea: All right.
Just tell me what it is so I can make sure
I didn't buy him the same gift. >> Billy: You did not get him
the same thing. Believe me. >> Chelsea: Well, I need to make
sure I don't replicate it because I'm not done shopping.
>> Billy: Wow. So pushy. Okay. Really? We can do this now,
if you insist. All right.
>> Chelsea: All right. >> Billy: Well.
>> Chelsea: A snorkel. You're right,
I didn't get him that. >> Billy: Okay.
>> Chelsea: A beret. >> Billy: Yeah.
>> Chelsea: I didn't get him that either.
>> Billy: Okay. [ Billy whistling fanfare ]
>> Chelsea: A bikini? >> Billy: Hey.
>> Chelsea: I definitely didn't get him that. No.
>> Billy: Not Connor's size? >> Chelsea: All right.
I'm officially stumped. What is going on?
>> Billy: Have you ever celebrated the New Year
in Saint Tropez. >> Chelsea: No.
>> Billy: Well, I would really like to do that with you
this year. Very, very much.
>> Chelsea: Well-- Oh, well,
that sounds amazing, but I hope I didn't guilt you
into all this when I was fishing for Christmas gift ideas.
You don't have to go all out like this.
>> Billy: It's not what it's about.
>> Chelsea: Well then, what is it about?
>> Billy: I wanted to properly thank you for
setting me straight on the path that I was on.
>> Audra: Look, I'm as much in the dark as you are about how
Tucker plans to pull off his coup of Jabot.
>> Kyle: What if he's in the dark as well?
>> Audra: Meaning? >> Kyle: My father floated
the theory that there is no plan at all.
That it's all just a game for Tucker.
What if the fun for Tucker is simply making my family worried?
Keeping them riled up? >> Audra: Or maybe that's
exactly what he wants. To be underestimated.
>> Kyle: What if he's playing all of us?
You included. >> Audra: Well, I'm not stupid.
Okay? I know him enough to be on guard.
And we have a history. So for now, I'll trust him.
Until he gives me a reason not to.
>> Kyle: And if by then, it's too late?
>> Audra: You know, what if this is just another stall
tactic on your part? We'll know Tucker's angle
once you have some real information for him.
Give him something of value. And if he still shuts us out,
then we'll know you, if not both of us,
are about to be left hanging.
>> Ashley: Um, I'll go
call my attorney and come up with a price and
work out some contract details. Excuse me.
>> Jack: I would like to table your concerns
about Billy for now. >> Diane: I just want to know
where Billy figures in all this? >> Jack: Exactly where he is.
As my co-CEO. >> Diane: He just doesn't
seem that invested. >> Jack: That is not fair.
It was Billy's idea to team up with Jill to take Tucker down.
>> Diane: Oh, sure. When it's his idea,
he's on fire. But when it comes to
all of our part in this multifaceted attack,
he is nowhere to be seen. >> Jack: I am aware that
you are not completely confident in my brother.
You've also made it very clear that you would like to see
Kyle in that position. >> Diane: Well, it was his job.
And as Chief Talent Officer, it's my responsibility--
>> Jack: Kyle has accepted his new position,
even if you haven't. I think that is a great sign
of personal growth and maturity. >> Diane: And he should
be rewarded for that. >> Jack: I am not going to
argue this with you. This is my call.
Kyle and Billy are both where they belong.
>> Billy: What you said to me earlier, was-- was dead on.
I've been approaching this-- this battle with Tucker with
the same manic energy I would if I was looking for my next win.
>> Chelsea: I'm glad you recognized it.
>> Billy: I didn't want to. But I was telling you and I was
telling myself that this-- this, Yeah, this fight to protect
Jabot was actually, you know, it was good.
It was healthy for me. A new and-- and better way to
channel that part of my psyche. The part that's always
looking for that jolt. >> Chelsea: And how
did you get there? >> Billy: By listening to you.
By watching you. I see how much work
you've put into yourself. And to be honest, I just want to
live up to your example. I took what you said to heart.
And I, you know, really started to look at what was
going on with Tucker and Ashley and Jack and-- and Diane.
And realize how it was actually making me feel.
>> Chelsea: And? >> Billy: It is not good.
It's always in me. You know, that-- that--
that feeling. That chase.
Whether I'm on a winning streak or losing streak.
And uh, you know, I just don't need to go there because
any time I do, it always ends up in a very dangerous place.
>> Chelsea: Well, no, the important thing is
you did recognize it. >> Billy: Thanks to you.
No, it's true. It's the nudge that you gave me
to even acknowledge it. >> Chelsea: Well, nudge is
a nice way to put it. >> Billy: I'm glad you did.
Because I need to fight this instinct that is inside myself.
>> Chelsea: And how are you going to do that?
>> Billy: By removing the temptation to engage.
>> Chelsea: Wait, are you actually considering
leaving Jabot after all? Right when your family's
about to go to war? >> Summer: Look, obviously,
I would love to go to this concert with you,
but I just-- I don't think it's a good idea.
You know, Sharon might free up still.
>> Chance: Oh, no. She said she's tied
down with work stuff. Sounded like she was hunkered
down in a conference room somewhere. And, like I said
earlier, I think she'd have more fun doing that anyway, so...
>> Summer: Well, don't you think that you should invite one of
your friends from the GCPD? You know, make it up to somebody
who's upset that you're leaving. >> Chance: Wow.
These are some really lame excuses from a super fan.
I mean, what happened? I thought you were in
love with these guys. >> Summer: I-- I just--
I don't really know what my plans are later.
I'm supposed to be meeting up with one of my designers.
>> Chance: Did I mention I have VIP all-access tickets?
>> Summer: You did not. >> Chance: Yeah.
Hey, how about this? You call me later
and you let me know one way or another,
but just know I'm not gonna let you miss this opportunity
without a damn good excuse. >> Summer: Fine.
I'll-- I'll call you later. >> Chance: Good. 'Til then.
Hey, man. >> Daniel: Hey.
>> Chance: How you doing? >> Daniel: Good.
>> Chance: Hey, tell your sister to come to the concert with me
tonight. Opportunity of a lifetime. Good to see you.
>> Daniel: Are you blushing? >> Kyle: If Tucker
hangs us out to dry, if there is no reward at
the end of this road, I'm still okay.
I have a safety net. But you have everything
riding on this. And if Tucker's just using you
for his own twisted amusement, where does that leave you?
>> Audra: I appreciate your concern,
but I have my own safety net. Newman Media.
I haven't quit or been fired. And I'm only leaving
if this ends up being a legitimate opportunity.
>> Kyle: Look, I'm not dragging my heels.
I have no interest in wasting time here.
>> Audra: Look, and I agree, we both need to know
what Tucker is planning. It will give me more certainty
and it will allow you to do whatever it takes to
get that job you richly deserve.
>> Kyle: Getting information out of Tucker won't be easy.
He hasn't given anything to either of us yet.
What makes you think he will now?
>> Audra: Are you doubting I'm up to the task?
>> Kyle: Never. But promise me that if
he continues to evade, you'll agree that's a strong
sign he's playing us. Either that or he has no
intention of including us once he succeeds with his plan.
So either way, I think we should start looking
out for each other. >> Audra: You know,
if I didn't know any better, I'd think maybe you're playing me.
You know, trying to get me to turn against Tucker.
>> Kyle: I just don't want to see you get burned.
He doesn't have the greatest track record
in the loyalty department. >> Audra: I'm touched.
You seem genuinely concerned for me.
>> Kyle: I am. Now, I have to get back
to the office if I am going to do my part.
>> Audra: Yeah. I won't keep you since
you succeeding will benefit both of us in getting what
we want and deserve. >> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
[ knock on door ] >> Tucker: Gee, Kyle,
what are you doing here? >> Daniel: You know, I haven't
seen you this way since you were a teenager with Kyle.
All giddy and starry-eyed and blushing.
>> Summer: Okay. You know that Kyle and I are over.
>> Daniel: I do know that you and Kyle are over.
That's why I was referring to one certain gentleman who was
here just a moment ago. >> Summer: Um Daniel,
I'm gonna need you to back off because I am a grown woman.
I am not your teenage daughter's age and I can absolutely
kickbox you if I have to. >> Daniel: Wow. Wow.
I'm not trying to get in a ring with you or anything.
>> Summer: That's really smart. >> Daniel: You know, maybe I'm--
I was just thinking that by not pursuing this attraction,
you might be driving yourself a little crazy.
>> Summer: What do you want me to do?
You want me to throw myself at the guy?
Set myself up for rejection? That would be humiliating.
>> Daniel: Nobody said throw yourself at him, but
go to the concert with him. You know you want to.
>> Summer: Yes. Of course, I want to go to the concert
with him. That's the problem.
I know that if we do that together, then we're gonna
have an amazing time and I am not gonna wanna turn back.
And he's not exactly available. Sharon's gonna find out.
It's gonna inevitably get very messy.
>> Daniel: I'm not telling you to hop into bed with the guy,
but I just feel like you're making this a bigger deal
because you're not acting on this crush.
You know, unrequited love. I mean,
that is the stuff of tragedies. >> Summer: Absolutely
nobody said anything about love. >> Daniel: Unrequited
attraction then. It feeds on itself.
You know, you get these butterflies in your stomach.
You feel nauseous. Any of
those symptoms sound familiar? >> Summer: Hm. What if they do?
>> Daniel: Well, that-- that can lead to a cycle
of hope and despair. >> Summer: Wow.
You are way overblowing this. >> Daniel: Yeah. You know,
maybe I am. Maybe I am. But you know, in my experience,
whenever I had this kind of feelings, the best
way to deal with it was just facing it head-on.
Getting through it. >> Summer: Are we still just
talking about me or are we kind of talking about you now too?
>> Daniel: Why would we be talking about me?
>> Summer: Heather and Lucy are back in Genoa City.
Lily is away. >> Daniel: You know what?
I think I'm gonna head back to work.
>> Summer: Oh, wow. Thanks for the
unsolicited advice. >> Daniel: No, Summer.
Thank you for not kicking me in the head.
>> Tucker: We will not be working together
if you keep this up. You should be at Jabot right
now doing what I have repeatedly asked you to.
Not to mention your actual job so as not to raise suspicion.
>> Kyle: Ooh. I'm not your lackey.
I am the key to all this, so why don't you dial
down the attitude? >> Tucker: Ah, you are turning
out to be totally useless. All your stall tactics.
Makes me wonder whose side you're really on, Kyle.
>> Kyle: Tucker, I can't get any pertinent information if
you don't tell me what it's gonna be used for.
It's like telling a detective to go find evidence, but not
telling him what the crime is. So, you want me to prove
my loyalty? Tell me what the game plan is.
>> Tucker: Yeah. Tough guy Kyle. >> Kyle: Just--
No, no, stop, stop. I'm done
with your snarky deflection, so either give me the game plan
or count me out.
>> Tucker: Audra,
your boyfriend here wants to know the game plan.
>> Kyle: Well, Tucker is demanding information,
which I'm willing to give him if he tells me
what I'm looking for. >> Audra: Yeah, I-- I wouldn't
mind knowing the game plan myself, Tucker.
>> Tucker: The plan, as I believe I have told you
before, is for Kyle to acquire sensitive information.
>> Kyle: Sensitive for whom? About what?
>> Tucker: Shut up and listen! You find me a new and innovative
product that Jabot is preparing to unveil.
Preferably something that's been years in the making and cost
millions of dollars to develop. A miracle eye cream,
fragrance, that sort of thing. >> Kyle: Okay.
And what are you gonna do with that intel?
Leak it to the press? I mean, jumping the gun on
the product launch isn't something that would
bring Jabot to its knees. >> Tucker: Can you
get him to shut up? Because I wasn't finished.
You will then get me the formula to said product
and how to make it. Our company, Glacade,
will launch it first. Jack will then search
for the mole within the company. And the breadcrumbs will
lead to the guilty party. This will succeed in
upending Jack's trust in his closest allies as
well as tanking the new product. One-two punch.
>> Kyle: And who is the guilty party?
>> Tucker: Diane, Billy, I haven't decided who yet?
It'll be a game-time decision. Whoever will cause the most
damage at that moment. The point is, the world will
find out that the mighty Abbotts have a traitor in the family.
And the scandal will rock Jabot. >> Billy: I don't know if
leaving Jabot is the answer. I really don't, but I do--
I do think I got to spend a little
time on the sidelines. Let Jack and Ashley and-- and--
and Diane finish this battle with Tucker.
>> Chelsea: Mm-hmm. And do you think you're
gonna be able to do that? >> Billy: You seem skeptical.
>> Chelsea: No, I just-- I just-- From everything you've
told me, you're the one who set the recent plan into place.
And you turned down your mom's offer to join
Chancellor-Winters. And instead engaged her in
this war with Tucker. >> Billy: Yeah. No.
I get that, but-- >> Chelsea: I just-- I fear that
when you're standing there watching all of this unfold,
you're not going to be able to fight your instincts.
You know, you're gonna get sucked into the thrill
of the battle and... >> Billy: I don't know
if I can do that. I don't know if I can
leave Jack and Jabot in the lurch like that.
As frustrating as it's been with Jack and Ashley at times,
we have, uh, come a long way. >> Chelsea: Yeah.
And I'm not advocating for you to blow up everything
you've repaired with Jack. I just--
I don't know. I don't know what the answer is.
>> Billy: I know. Damned if I do,
damned if I don't. >> Chelsea: Can I ask you
a question? Devil's advocate? >> Billy: Yes, please.
>> Chelsea: Putting all the guilt about Jabot aside,
if you could walk away, what would you do?
Because I don't see you giving all this up.
It's like you need this as your-- your purpose.
It's what fuels you. >> Billy: I do have one option.
>> Summer: Hey, Chance. Um, if that ticket is still
available, count me in.
>> Billy: You were sitting right
there when my mother tried enticing me to join
her at Chancellor-Winters. I could have accepted
that offer and started fighting Tucker from there.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. But how is it any different?
You know, same war, just on a different front?
Won't you feel the same rush? The same need to win?
>> Billy: No, it wouldn't be the same.
It wouldn't. >> Chelsea: Billy. Come on.
>> Billy: At Jabot, Jack is there.
And our relationship, you know, it's...
I'm always feeling like I have to impress him
or I'm gonna let him down. And now Kyle's there and I know
he wants my job and I know Diane wants to give it to him.
If I'm being honest, I think Jack does deep down too.
So, I know any misstep and I fall out of the good
graces of Jack Abbott. And I prove him right
all over again. >> Chelsea: Don't you
feel the same need to impress your mom?
>> Billy: I've let my mom down many times, no doubt,
but I know she has complete faith in me.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. A mother's loyalty.
>> Billy: And she doesn't have anyone.
Jack's got to Ashley, Diane, and Kyle, and my mom,
she's there by herself on that side of the table and
she doesn't do vulnerable very often.
I can see it in her, she needs me there.
And that, that means something to me.
>> Chelsea: I hear Saint Tropez is better in the summer anyway.
Sounds like you have somewhere important you need to be.
>> Audra: You got him to reveal his plan even though I told
you I'd take care of it. >> Kyle: Tucker showed up,
came on strong. I made a calculated
decision to go after him. >> Audra: Seems like it worked.
>> Kyle: Yeah. I don't know. >> Audra: You don't believe him.
>> Kyle: I don't buy that his plan is to out my mom
or Billy as the mole. There would be no proof.
Breadcrumbs will lead to the guilty party in
a last-minute call? Who's gonna leave those
breadcrumbs, Audra? He may believe that
I would set up Billy, but he would never trust me
to set up my own mother. >> Audra: Well, you know, maybe
he just doesn't want to reveal that part of his strategy yet.
You know, Tucker likes to be in control.
He wouldn't have told you the whole thing before he has
proof you're gonna get him what he wants.
>> Kyle: No. I think he has revealed his plan.
He plans to pin it on me. I'm his sacrificial lamb.
And I wouldn't be surprised if he plans to double-cross
you in the same way. It's up to me to turn
Tucker's plan against him before he turns it against us.
So, are you with me? Or are you sticking with Tucker?
>> Tucker: You have a price? >> Ashley: Yeah.
I just texted it to you. >> Tucker: Well, you're not
kidding around, are you? >> Ashley: Take it or leave it.
Unless you need more time? >> Tucker: No, it's fine.
>> Ashley: Great. Um, I've already drawn up
the paperwork, so my attorney will be sending
the contracts over to you. >> Tucker: Okay.
And my lawyer will look it over. >> Ashley: Perfect.
I'm sure she'll find everything in order.
As you said, I want to get this done as soon as possible.
Bye bye. >> Tucker: Goodbye.
>> Ashley: Done. Now, we wait.
>> Jack: Dare I say, for the first time,
I am feeling close to victory. Finally, we will put
an end to Tucker McCall. >> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless... >> Nate: I have reason
to believe Nikki might be drinking again.
>> Tucker: Ha. Champagne for everyone.
>> Cole: We found your DNA at the lake house.
>> Victoria: And we tested it against ours.
>> Claire: Tell me who I am.
